Every thing is fine when you're standing in the eye of the hurricane.

I had the weekend off and we actually ended up doing quite a lot of things! 

Firstly here are some late birthday pictures from my birthday package from chads family that i llooved! They got me tons of things from HomeSense one of my favorite stores in the world. My favorite gift was a set of rustic decorative keys. I've always wanted some : )

Heres me creepily ready to open my presents. 

Even the inside of the box was pretty. 

So to start the weekend i woke up super early to get ready to go to the white place flea market!! I've gone to the past 3 and this was going to be my last chance to go before we move. I did not buy anything which i didn't plan to because its quite heart breaking thinking about everything i already have that im going to have to get rid of when we move. But i loved looking around. Alsooo.. i won a door prize! We walked in and they said... you won! I got a candle and a spoon bracelet.

After the flea market we picked up barbara and went to di (of course) and some other little places with her before coming back to idaho falls. At the flea market i got super excited for crafts and saw some gold mason jars with glitter on the bottom. I've seen them on pinterest before but seeing them in person made them even cooler. So i went to di and bought some ultra cheap mason jars. And then some really pretty gold spray paint. (which finding a nice matte gold spray paint is a lot harder then you'd think. Mostly they just have ultra metallic gold)

It turned out to be one of the crafts you think will be easy and then nothing quite goes the way it should. 

Here they are outside right after spray painting.. they were beautiful. I loved them. 

Then i brought them inside to put tape around the bottom to make an even line for the gold glitter. But when i pulled the tape off the paint came right off too. It was so ruined i just pulled all the paint off. As you can see below. Real dumb. So i got creative and put a layer of modge podge on them hoping that would make it stronger.. which it did but then it looked super streaky and gave it an ugly color. So i spray painted again over the modge podge layer and called it good. 

They turned out pretty and not as scratchable but still not reliable enough to try glittering the bottom : (

And now my desk! I love love how it turned out. I found out glass is horrible to paint but furniture is still nice to me. I taped it up and spray painted and everything went smoothly and happily. I also gave the whole desk another coat of its original color. 

Shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet.

Well here is my Birthday Post!!! Chad tempted me into opening my presents the night before my birthday but he had everything decorated and presents wrapped so it was hard to resist. : ) He bought me some super duper cute things including a new cat book and perfume. 

Here are some pictures! 

 im not a big cake fan so chad got me some pecan pie. It was delish.

Here's some decorations.. lots of confetti 

 Balloons hung from the ceiling...

Barbara came over for my little party. 

She made gooey brownies. Made with apple sauce. 

 Just me. 

A little bit of chad and i. 

She said show me the world that's inside your head.

Welll...my birthday is in 2 days! I asked for it off so i'll get to hang out at home. Barbara is coming over and making me some brownies that are supposedly really good... and i also have the day after off so i'll get to stay up late and sleep in the next morning : ) 

And here are few pictures from today. We had some yummy corn for dinner. And then since it was sunny we took a drive to a little pond near our house and walked around. 

Fresh corn on the cob. yum. yum. 

Driving like baddys. 

Beautiful..dry.. idaho.. 

Little purple flowers. 

A bridge for a pipe across the river. 

Sand and plants.

Hold on the stars are bound to change

Yesterday chad and i were cleaning the craft room and it made me get a craft idea! I have lots of extra frames laying around and decided to paint them all black and back them with left over paper that i used in the drawers of my buffet thing. And found a home for them above the tv. 

Here it is.. (i stilll haven't fixed the bottom right drawer.. sadly.) 

And here is kitty being a cutie pie. 

That night i kind of fell in love.

Well.. Chad got accepted to grad school in Alaska at APU!!!!! 

And thats about all the interesting news that has happened since easter. : ) But one really cool thing did happen. The other day i came home from work and outside our door was a giant giant tumble weed! I thought this was pretty cool. Some may not agree... like chad. But it was a pretty impressive tumble weed.. Riiigght at our front door. cool. So anyways.. here are some simple pictures. 

Chad and the tumble weed. Sorry its suuuper blurry. : (

Kitty in the middle of meowing at me. Something she does waaay too much.

And.. chad and his cats. 

And, an attempt to take a picture together. 

You know what it feels like when you're dancing blind.

So this is my easter post! It was pretty great. Kasey came over, we dyed eggs the night before. Lots of eggs. On easter easter we all went to church and then came home and hid our easter baskets from chads mom. Kasey cheated and put our outside. They were filled with yummy things and other pretty things like shirts, oven mitt, and a cat toy. We then played some egg Olympics. I was the first loser. But my eyes were doing bad that day.. so you know. : ) And then it was a pretty intense end with kasey and chad but then chad got a big lead and wasted kasey. So.. fun times!

We had big plans for a nice little bbq which turned out awful. The burgers turned into slim. They like melted all over the grill. It was weird and uneatable. 

All or our eggs!!

The first egg to be dyed. Chad made it.

Every ones eggs. 

One of the many courses during the egg Olympics. This one took the life of two eggs.

 We also went outside for a little. Kittys favorite thing.

 Two cool kids drinking their kool aid jammers.

And this is just one of darcy i like : )

I got this feeling on a summer day when you were gone. I crashed my car into the bridge. I don't care.

It was 55 degrees today so we went on a little drive. It started raining right when we left, but it was still pretty. There was a road i saw during the winter on a drive we took that had rows of trees down the side of the street. I wished very much i had my camera with me then because it was absolutely beautiful. So i thought we would try going back there today and it was quite pretty again. Instead of everything being pretty and white it was all very yellow. I took a picture of the actually branches and they are seriously yellow. Its really cool. : )

I head to work in a half hour and then chad goes to rexburg to pick up kasey to come stay with us for easter weekend!

You make me nervous that i just can't hold your hand.

Today i worked at 5am and was suppose to get done at 12pm.. but they made us stay until 3pm. So that was a lovely 10 hour shift.... not.

But besides that.. i watched the moooost adorable youtube video. I saw it going around on facebook but didn't watch it until now. Its a recording of a little 5 year old girl's call to 911 for her dad who's having trouble breathing.. it made me cry and laugh. Just aadorable.

Come on skinny love just last the year. Pour a little salt, we were never here.

So im all alone : (

Kasey and i drove chad to boise for his flight to.... Alaska, for a grad school interview! Im very happy he got an interview but jealous that he gets to go on a trip, and see my family without me. Im also not looking forward to being alone for 4 days without chad ryan parr. But i'll wiggle through it and survive i suppose.

Here are some pictures from the old trip... chad got the munchys and asked me to pull over to this town and then all of a sound we saw this amazing canyon thing. Come to find out twin falls is a very cool place. hopefully we will make it back there sometime soon!

Kasey & Chad

 Chad & Allie

 The rest of it.....

And i took a picture of the trip calculator with cool plans to have one from the start and end but... i forgot to take one at the end.. so haha.. yeah... 

And here is just a little extra picture of chad and i...chad being silly as always.
